Navy Installations Command Public Affairs
Exercise Citadel Personnel Accountability 07-1 (CPA 07-
1), a large-scale personnel accountability (PA) exercise,
will be taking place Feb. 21 to March 2.
Conducted by Navy Installations Command (NIC) and in
coordination with U.S. Fleet Forces Command, U.S. Pacific
Fleet, Navy Personnel Command (NPC) and the command-
ers of Navy regions Naval District Washington (NDW) and
Hawaii (NRH), the exercise is designed to capitalize on les-
sons learned from Mustering Exercise (MUSTEREX) III 06,
conducted in August 2006.
"The purpose of the exercise is to train the ashore commu-
nity in a wide-area muster and accounting drill to ensure the
personnel accountability processes are understood and insti-
tutionalized for Navy family readiness," said CNIC's Disaster
Preparedness Officer Capt. Ray Pietrzak.
The primary goals of CPA 07-1 are educating and training
commands in personnel accountability policy guidance and

procedures (NAVADMIN 177/06), validating UIC listings, and
conducting post-incident muster and reporting on CNPC's
Bupers on Line (BOL) Disaster Muster Tool (DMT).
The exercise will validate the muster reporting structure
between regions, installation commanding officers, and their
tenants. It will also provide a practical test for DOD PA instruc-
tions and draft OPNAV and CNIC instructions written this past
fall on personnel accountability associated with catastrophic
events. CNIC headquarters stood up a global installations
operations center on Aug. 15 to provide command and con-
trol for emergent situations worldwide and will coordinate
the exercise for CNIC regions and installations. Many of these
procedures were put into place after the 2005 devastating hur-
ricane season.
CPA 07-1 is comprised of two distinct phases. Phase 1, Feb.
21-23, is a preparatory phase. Region and installation evacua-
tion plans and procedures will be reviewed and table top exer-
cises will be performed. During Phase 2, from Feb. 26 to March
2, the concerted efforts of the muster and accountability pro-
cess will be performed by all Navy commands affected in the
defined geographic areas of interest. All commands through-
out the Navy must log into BOL DMT to account for any per-
sonnel who may be TAD, on leave, or have family members
to account for in the exercise scenario affected areas. The
CNIC operation center will coordinate efforts with associated
Navy region operations centers (ROCs) to help meet the local
requirements and provide additional support, manpower, and
command and control that is determined necessary.
Though CNIC hopes that response to a catastrophic event
will never be needed, the CNIC operations center and ROCs
are taking this opportunity to flex their preparedness muscle.
"Our people are our greatest asset," said Pietrzak. "We are
creating the mind set that the best way to take care of our
Sailors is to take care of our Navy family, especially during cat-
astrophic events." Pietrzak added, "The Navy family includes
all active and Reserve duty personnel, civilian government
employees, non-appropriated fund employees, contractors
overseas, and all identified eligible family members to these
Department of Navy sponsors."
This will be the third multi-region muster and account-
ability exercise that has been conducted under the direction
of NAVADMIN 177/06 released on June 15, which outlines
the geographic mustering and accountability construct. Vice
Adm. Bob Conway intends to periodically run these PA exer-
cises to ensure sustained fleet and family readiness in the case
of a real catastrophic event.

F rom Slavery to
Freedom: the Story
of Africans in the
Americas" was the theme of
this year's Black History Month
Luncheon held at the Clubs of
Kings Bay Feb. 15. The origins
of Black History Month began
in 1915 when the historian Dr.
Carter Woodson realized there
was a lack of documentation of
the evolving African American
experience and started the
Association for the Study of
Negro Life and History.
In 1926Negro HistoryWeek, as
the African American Fraternity
Omega Psi Phi called it, was a
week in February dedicated to
celebrating the achievements of
African Americans. Their cele-
bration was somewhat stagnant
until Woodson offered to put the
Association's name behind the
idea in February 1926. Through
Woodson's promotion, Negro
History Week gained in popu-

larity and in 1976 it evolved into
Black History Month.
As part of the celebrations of
blackhistorythisyear, the Harlem
Ambassadors Professional
Basketball team brought their
show to Kings Bay, Feb. 8, and
the Pirate's Cove opened its
doors to civilians and service-
members alike to a rich menu of
beef, lobster, sweet potatoes, and
a multitude of other traditional
favorites Feb. 13, but nothing
surpassed the efforts spent by the
Equal Employment Opportunity
Advisory Committee in putting
on the Black History Month
Luncheon.
"The Black Employment
Subcommittee did wonderful
job in organizing this event,"
said EEOAC Chairperson
Bonnie O'Connor. "They truly
open doors for minorities in
the military and civilian sec-
tors by promoting awareness
and equal opportunity."

Last call for postgraduate school applications

Program is targeted to Navy
Unrestricted Line officers, but is
open to other qualified candidates

By Naval Postgraduate School
he Naval Postgraduate School
Department of Operations
Research is pleased to announce
that it is currently accepting applications
through March 2 for its distributed learn-
ing Master of Systems Analysis degree
offered in partnership with the Chief of
Naval Operations and the Naval Education
and Training Command. The MSA
Spring 2007-2009 degree program begins
Thursday March 29. The class size is lim-
ited to 25 students. The program is tar-
geted to Navy Unrestricted Line Officers,

but is open to other qualified uniformed
officers and federal government civilians
on a seat availability basis. This program
is designed to prepare students to apply
critical thinking and analytical skills to
support key decisions in both operational
and staff assignments.
The MSA program is tailored to stu-
dents whose career paths do not allow
them to enroll in a full-time graduate
education program and is tuition funded
by NETC (students must purchase their
own textbooks). To be eligible, a student
must have a Baccalaureate Degree (BA or
BS) with a GPA of 2.2 or better, have taken
calculus with a C or better and have a
favorable command endorsement.
The MSA program is a 24-month,
part-time program delivered using a
blended mix of distance learning meth-

ods. Students take two courses a quarter
for eight consecutive quarters with one
course delivered asynchronously using
web-based instruction and one course
delivered synchronously using video-
tele-education. The web-based courses
are paced week-to-week by the instruc-
tors, but students have great flexibility
to do their coursework at times of their
choosing during each week. The VTE
classes meet for a three-hour session on
Thursday from 8 to 11 a.m. (Pacific Time)
each week.
Students who successfully complete
the program earn a Master of Systems
Analysis degree and a Certificate in
Systems Analysis. A second Certificate is
also earned in a systems analysis context

Feb. 27 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. in the Trident Training Facility
Auditorium.
The lecture includes comprehensive information on
resumes, cover letters, job search, networking, career
fairs, interview techniques, salary negotiation, benefits
packages, the current job market, and other relevant and
important transition topics.
The presentation is geared toward officers, but those of
all ranks, as well as spouses are warmly welcomed. All
who attend will receive a free copy of the lecture's com-
panion book, also titled "Marketing Yourself for a Second
Career" an in-depth, all-in-one resource for the transi-
tion process.

Troops to Teachers
The Georgia Troops to Teachers Program provides eli-
gible service members up to $10,000 for becoming public
school teachers. Under the Spouse to Teachers Programs,
eligible military spouses may be reimbursed for the cost of
state required certification tests up to a total of $600.

Mail policy
If you live in the barracks, do not use your building and
room number as your address. Mail is not delivered to
the barracks. Using your command address will speed up
delivery of your mail and prevent delay. If you are assigned
to NSB Kings Bay, please include your work center in your
address. For civilians receiving official/job related mail
through the NSB Kings Bay Mailroom, include your com-
mand and work center in your address.

Official photo no longer required
According to MILPERSMAN article 1070-180, the need
for an official military photograph in an officer's file has
been eliminated, as adherence to physical standards is
noted on fitness reports and technology permits rapid
transmission of officer pictures when needed. This step
should also help modernize record management.

Commissary holiday hours
The NSB Kings Bay Commissary has implemented a
new holiday schedule. The commissary will close on the
Tuesday following Columbus Day, Christmas, New Year's
Day, Martin Luther King Day, President's Day, Memorial
Day and Labor Day. The commissary will also close on
Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July, but will remain open
on Veterans Day.

Have you completed your PHA?
All active-duty personnel require a Preventive Health
Assessment annually. The assessment must be complete
within the past 12 months in order to participate in the
semi-annual command fitness assessment or the reme-
dial fitness program. A PHA consists of a one-on-one
review of your health record and health status with a Naval
Branch Halth Clinic corpsman. This includes updating
your record for deployment. A PHA is not the same as
a medical screening for the CFA, which must be done
separately. PHAs should be scheduled in the same month
as your birthday. Call Military Medicine at 573-8801 to
schedule a PHA.

On The Home Front

New resource for families of IAs

By Beth Wiruth
Periscope contributor

Homefront in Focus has
covered the topic of
IA's or individual aug-
mentees and their families in
the past and this edition brings
a positive update on IA deploy-
ments. A new command, the
Expeditionary Command
Readiness Center or ECRC
stood up in October 2006 with
responsibility to support IA's
and families. Their mission
statement: "Train, equip, cer-
tify, deploy, provide oversight,
reach-back and redeploy
(return to sending command)
Navy Individual Augmentees,
In Lieu Of individuals and
provisional units deploying
for nontraditional expedition-
ary missions in support of the
Global War on Terrorism" out-
lines their role.
Once a Sailor receives IA
orders the ECRC takes respon-
sibility for the Sailor. While this
is a young command they have
made considerable efforts and
strides in streamlining and
consolidating stops prior to
and following deployment.
This means less time in transit
and more time at home for the
Sailor. They have established
effective relationships with the
Army to insure IA's are well-
trained for this unique deploy-
ment. It is important to note

that the ECRC is responsible
for all IA's, both active duty
and reservists.
The ECRC is located at the
Naval Amphibious Base Little
Creek, Va. but has detach-
ments in Iraq, Kuwait and
Afghanistan as well as liaison
representatives at training sta-
tions such as Fort Jackson, S.C.
These detachments, accessi-
ble by servicemembers 24/7,
are tasked with supporting IA's
and assisting with issues that
may arise during deployment,
such as pay issues, emergency
leave, even equipment/supply
issues.
The ECRC is not just for
the servicemember but also
serves as a conduit for infor-
mation and support for fami-
lies. As part of this support a
hotline has been established
for families and sailors. The
toll free number, 877-364-
4302, is manned 24/7 by a per-
son. "We got it [the hotline]
in place so families would be
streamlined to a person who
can help right away." states
Cmdr. Mary Sadler, ECRC's IA
family readiness officer. "The
hotline is only forwarded to
voice mail if the line is busy
taking care of other family
members." Families accessing
support through this hotline
can also expect follow-up calls
to ensure that situations and
needs have been resolved.
While neither the hotline nor

command provides direct ser-
vices it does serve as an 'infor-
mation and referral' resource
for families along with the
ombudsman from their ser-
vicemember's sending com-
mand. Sadler adds the ECRC
"is THE conduit that can help
an IA family member access
the programs and organiza-
tions out there and we are
positioned to do that."'
Cmdr. Laura Venable,
ECRC's executive officer, in a
telephone interview said more
support for families is under
development. "We have held
briefs with family members
which have been well received
and are continually looking for
more ways to touch more fam-
ilies in the future." One such
effort is CNIC's publications:
The IA Sailor Handbook and
The IA Family Handbook. The
ECRC is responsible for the
content of these publications
which will be reviewed and
updated regularly.
The ECRC website, www.
ecrc.navy.mil, is another
resource for families and ser-
vicemembers. Venable adds,
"The website is just a start but
will continue to be built to be
more informative for fami-
lies:' Another recommenda-
tion is the Navy Knowledge
Online website for Individual
Augmentees and their fami-
lies. If you have not accessed
the NKO website you can

Support page under the link to
'Navy Family Community'
There are currently approxi-
mately 10,000 Sailors deployed
as Individual Augmentees
in locations such as Kuwait,
Afghanistan, Horn of Africa,
GITMO and Iraq. This new
command brings training,
support, equipment and fam-
ily support under one roof and
that is good news for sailors
and families. Homefront in
Focus will continue to give
updates on the commands
continuing effort to support
IA's and their families. In
future weeks, we will look at
the training provided for IA's
as well as re-entry support for
Sailors and families.

Last week two events
occurred that I have
been pondering. I think
somehow they are related, at
least in a conceptual way. Let
me see if I can make the con-
nection with you.
Last week I mentioned that
the cast of "Seussical, The
Musical" was going to pres-
ent its opening number to
educators at opening sessions
of the district's Professional
Enhancement Conference.
On Thursday last week, more
than 90 elementary, middle
and high school students took
that stage at the auditorium by
storm. Their energy and per-
formance quality was undeni-
able; the audiences loved them
and were proud of them. The
lyrics of their song were evoca-

tive of Seuss and his love of
the unique and creative world
kids can create if allowed. "Oh,
The Thinks You Can Think"
rhetorically asks what might
happen if we actually fostered
in people all the thinks they
could think. And you never
know, we are reminded, what
might happen if you think
about "Seuss."
After they finished their
performance, the featured
opening speaker that followed
them made a really impor-
tant point. Barbara Coloroso,
whose books, speeches and
programs center on caring for
and fostering student achieve-
ment, held forth her belief
that school communities that
invest in the kind of perfor-
mance programs we have in
Camden County, which allow
our students to perform like
those kids had iust performed,

show a vision and an under-
standing of what it takes to
make learning real and vital
in their lives. Today's students,
not unlike past generations of
students, are enthralled with
accomplishing something
that challenges them and that
places them in relationships
with adults who have high
expectations and attitudes
that support students' work.
She argued that high achieving
students are part of committed
programs that require them to
work diligently and creatively
as learners and support them
in every way possible.
Then, on Friday, upon
seeing the headlines in our
local paper, I was reminded
of another truth: that contin-
ued improvement in instruc-
tion and in qualitative gains
in achievement cannot be
realized without commitment,

just like the kind those kids
had given to their ongoing
preparations for their upcom-
ing show. The commitment
that is required is to school
attendance being there every
week possible, every day pos-
sible, and every hour possible.
This commitment is required
of students, parents, guard-
ians, and other family mem-
bers. But this commitment
is also required of business
owners and managers of their
employees, and it is required
by the chamber of commerce
of its membership.
The commitment to learn-
ing as today's most important
"job" of children is required
of the faith community, of
civic leaders, and public safety
leaders and their staffs. Civic
organizations need to make
improved school attendance
one of their annual goals.

Military families need to make
a commitment to each other
to help our kids get to school
every day. Military officers
need to send that message to
their crew members that are
parents. Judges, lawyers, social
workers, and governmen-
tal departments need to use
every tool available to them
in the law to get kids to school
and hold parents/guardians
accountable.
In total, we need to decide
that in Camden County, being
at school is our children's
highest priority. Each part of
our community needs to do
its part to lessen any influ-
ence that might take kids out
of school.
At the same time, educators
need to make a similar com-
mitment to making school a
place where excitement, cre-
ativity, caring and high expec-

IS worth it when the audience
applauds and your children's
options are expanded to pos-
sibilities you and they never
dreamed about you know,
to some of those "thinks you
can think" if you think about
"Seuss."

Cell phones and driving don't mix

New directive bans

listening devices

while driving on base

By MC2(SW) Michael Wiss
Periscope staff
The cellular phone is one of the
most important items a lot of
people own. Many would be
lost without this luxury. It can be an
important safety tool in the case of
an emergency to call for help or for a
repair truck to tow your car if strand-
ed on the highway. Some people
abuse their cell phone use, talking
to their friends, when they should
be concentrating on driving their
vehicle. If you are a Sailor, Marine
or Department of Defense employee
at NSB, Kings Bay, you had better be
aware you will pay the penalty if you
dial and drive.
The Department of Defense and
Commander Navy Installations
Command (CNIC) has reissued
a Distracted Driving Traffic Safety
Policy which was first issued in May
of 2006. The directive prohibited
the use of hand held cellular phone
devices and similar devices for those
operating motor vehicles on all mili-

tary installations The directive has
been updated (effective immediate-
ly) to prohibit the use of portable lis-
tening devices covering the driver's
ear, which include wired or wireless
earphones and headphones.
According to NSB, Kings Bay
Security Operations Officer H.R.
"Bud" Lett, the intent of this direc-
tive is to increase the importance
of safe driving and to eliminate the
chance of mishaps from distracted
motorists.
"If you are caught using a hand
held cell phone, you will be given a
ticket and will have to appear in court
on base," he said.
"We know everyone has cell
phones, we are just instructing all
personnel to not use their cell phones
while driving. If you have to make a
call, pull into a parking lot or off to
the shoulder of the road."
The new directive is a little differ-
ent from the original policy. With
the popularity of the bluetooth and
other wireless earphones and head-
phones, the new law emphasizes
these devices as not an alternative,
but prohibited from use while driving
on base. The Bluetooth technology is
a short range communications tech-
nology intended to replace the cables
connecting portable or fixed while
maintaining high levels of security. A

fundamental strength is the ability to
simultaneously handle both data and
voice transmissions. This enables
the user to enjoy a variety of inno-
vative solutions such as hands free
head set for voice calls. The point
of the policy is for people to forget
about their work or phone calls and
concentrate on the road.
"There have not been mishaps on
the base, but this is a valid concern
that people need to think about," Lett
said. "Cell phones are a distraction.
It only takes a split second to have an
accident. If you happen to look down
to dial your phone, this is usually
where the potential for an accident
occurs, not paying attention."
The policy does not apply to
fire and emergency medical or law
enforcement personnel engaged in
the performance of regular duties.
The policy also does not prohibit
radios, phones or headphones that
are connected to official radio or
vehicle mounted intercom systems
in emergency service vehicles. The
policy does not ban cell phones, but
restricts them when on the base. The
only non emergency vehicle system
allowed is the console system con-
nected to the car that you use with a
speaker phone.
The cell phone ban is only on the
base, not when out on Georgia high-

Many drivers don't realize it, and some decide to risk it, but driving on base
while talking on a cellular phone is not only distracting and dangerous, it
is also illegal and may result in loss of base driving privelages for up to two
years. CNIC recently reissued the distracted driver safety policy.

ways which doesn't have a law ban-
ning cell phone usage by drivers.
According to Lett, driving a vehicle
is already dangerous, without adding
another distraction to the equation.
"I have experienced people doing
many things while driving their car.
From getting something out of the
backseat, putting on makeup, even

reading a book while driving down
the highway," he said. "When you
are traveling down the interstate with
speeds of 75 miles per hour or more,
you need to totally concentrate on
what you are doing. It would be a
tragedy for some one to die because
they were checking their voice mes-
sages."

LUNCHEON: The audience enjoyed food, company

Continued from Page 1

Kings Bay luncheon this year
was former talk show host and
reporter Joyce Danford, who
now works as a motivational
speaker and broadcast image
coach. With a rich history in
her fields and an impressive
resume, Danford was well
received during the luncheon.
"It is important that we
remind each other about the
struggles we survived in order
to get where we are now,"
said EEOAC Chairman Harry
Gilliard who put together this

year's event. "I really liked
the way Mrs. Danford spoke at
a luncheon that I attended a
few months ago, and we were
lucky to get her to come to
Kings Bay today.'
As done for Dr. King's birth-
day last month, several musi-
cal selections were again per-
formed by Carman Attaway
of Trident Refit Facility. The
audience enjoyed the food and
the company, and the mood
was cheerful and energetic.

American Heart Month: Understanding your heart

By Health Promotion
Center

Heart disease is the
number one killer of
men, women, and
children. In addition, it kills
more women than all types
of cancers combined. Find
out how you can make chang-
es to your lifestyle that can
help reduce your risk factors
for heart disease and stroke.
Modifying these risk factors
can also improve the suc-
cess of treatments for coro-
nary artery disease should you
need them.
What is heart failure?
Heart failure does not mean
that your heart has stopped
working. Heart failure means
that the left ventricle (lower
chamber of the heart) is not
contracting with enough force
(systolic heart failure); or that
the ventricles are stiff and do
not relax and fill properly (dia-
stolic heart failure).
With heart failure, blood
moves through the heart and
body at a slower rate, and
pressure in the heart increas-
es. Therefore, the heart can-
not pump enough oxygen and
nutrients to meet the body's
needs. The chambers of the
heart respond by stretch-
ing to hold more blood to
pump through the body or by
becoming thicker and stiffer.
This helps to keep the blood
moving for a short while, but
eventually the heart muscle
walls weaken and are not able
to pump as strongly.
The heart muscle walls
are damaged and do not
pump or fill normally. The
kidneys often respond by
causing the body to retain
fluid (water) and sodium.
If fluid builds up in the arms,
legs, ankles, feet, lungs or other
organs, the body becomes
congested; congestive heart
failure is the term used to
describe this condition.
What are the symp-
toms of heart failure?
You may not have any symp-
toms of heart failure, or the
symptoms may be mild to
severe. Symptoms can be con-
stant or can come and go. The
symptoms are related to the
changes that occur in your
heart and body, including:
*Shortness of breath or dif-
ficulty breathing with exer-
cise, at rest or when lying flat
in bed. Shortness of breath
occurs when fluid backs up
into the lungs (congestion) or
when your body does not have
enough oxygenated blood to
allow you to continue your
activity or exercise without a
rest period. Even though you
think of shortness of breath
as a lung problem, it can be
a heart condition that causes
episodes of shortness of
breath. In some cases, these
symptoms may cause you to
wake up suddenly at night,
disrupting your normal sleep
patterns.
*A dry, hacking cough or
wheezing.
*Swollen ankles, legs and
abdomen and weight gain.
Less blood to the kidneys
causes fluid and water reten-
tion, resulting in edema (swell-
ing) and water weight gain.

*Need to urinate while rest-
ing at night or an increased
need to urinate during the
night.
*Tiredness (fatigue) and
weakness during exercise or
activities occur because the
heart is not pumping enough
oxygen-rich blood to major
organs and muscles.
*Dizziness, confusion, diffi-
culty concentrating or fainting
may occur because the heart is
not pumping enough oxygen-
rich blood to the brain.
*Rapid or irregular heart-
beats (palpitations): When the
heart muscle does not pump
effectively, the heartbeat
speeds up to help the heart
get enough oxygen-rich blood
to major organs and muscles.
An irregular heartbeat can
occur from many problems,
including an enlarged heart,
not enough oxygen-rich blood
to the heart muscle, and too
much volume or pressure in
the heart. In addition, heart
failure causes the electri-
cal conduction system in the
chambers of the heart to be
irritable, leading to irregular
heartbeats.
*Other symptoms include a
feeling of fullness (bloating) in
your stomach, loss of appetite
or nausea.
If you have heart failure, you
may have one or all of these
symptoms. Sometimes, peo-
ple with heart failure do not
have any symptoms.
How the heart works
A healthy heart beats about
60 to 80 times per minute to
pump blood throughout the
body. The right and left sides
of the heart work together.
Blood that is low in oxygen first
enters the right upper cham-
ber (right atrium) of the heart.
The blood flows from the right
atrium to the lower chamber
(right ventricle) through the
open tricuspid valve. Blood
passes through a valve before
leaving each chamber of the
heart. There are four valves in
your heart; valves make sure
blood flows in only one direc-
tion through your heart. The
blood then travels through the
pulmonary artery to the lungs
where oxygen is added.
Oxygen-rich blood then
returns to the left side of the
heart. The blood flows from
the left upper chamber (left
atrium) to the lower cham-
ber (left ventricle) through
the open mitral valve. From
the left ventricle, the blood
is pumped into a network of
arteries (blood vessels) that
carry the blood throughout
the body.
With systolic heart failure,
the left ventricle's pumping
power is weaker than normal,
causing less blood to move
from the heart to the body.
What are the types
of heart failure?
Systolic left ventricular dys-
function (or systolic heart
failure) occurs when the left
ventricle heart muscle doesn't
contract with enough force,
so less oxygen-rich blood is
pumped throughout the body.
Heart failure with preserved
left ventricular function (dia-
stolic heart failure) occurs
when the heart contracts nor-
mally, but the ventricles do

not relax properly or are stiff
and less blood enters the heart
during normal filling.
A test called the ejection frac-
tion (EF) is used to measure
how well your heart pumps
with each beat to determine
if systolic dysfunction or heart
failure with preserved left
ventricular function are pres-
ent. Ejection fraction is the
measurement of how much
blood is being pumped out of
the left ventricle of the heart.
Heart failure can occur due
to a weakened heart muscle
(systolic heart failure) or may
be related to a stiff, inflexible
heart muscle diastolicc heart
failure). In diastolic heart fail-
ure, the ejection fraction can
be normal, but the stiff heart
muscle causes increased pres-
sures inside the heart and
lungs, leading to symptoms.
Your doctor can discuss which
condition is present in your
heart.
What causes heart failure?
Heart failure is caused by
many conditions that damage
the heart muscle, including:
*Coronary artery disease
(also called coronary athero-
sclerosis) a disease of the
arteries that supply blood and
oxygen to the heart. Coronary

artery disease occurs when the
normal lining of the arteries
breaks down, the walls of the
arteries thicken and deposits
of fat and plaque block the flow
of blood through the arteries.
The arteries that supply blood
to the heart become severely
narrowed and the heart can no
longer respond to increased
activity. Extra strain on the
heart may result in chest pain

(angina pectoris) and other
symptoms of heart disease.
*Heart attack-occurswhen
a coronary artery becomes
suddenly blocked, stopping
the flow of blood to the heart
muscle and damaging it. All
or part of the heart muscle
becomes cut off from its sup-
ply of oxygen. A heart attack
can damage the heart muscle,
resulting in a scarred area that
does not function.
*Cardiomyopathy dam-
age to the heart muscle from
causes other than artery or
blood flow problems. Causes
include viruses, alcohol or
drug abuse, and genetics or
inherited.
*Heart defects present at
birth
*Diabetes Mellitus
*High blood pressure
(hypertension) Blood pres-
sure is the force of blood push-
ing against blood vessel walls.
High blood pressure means
the pressure in the arteries is
above the normal range.
.Arrhythmia
*Chronic kidney disease
*Obesity (being overweight)
In addition, heart failure
often occurs when several dis-

eases or conditions are pres-
ent at once.
Treatment A Team Effort
Together, you and your doc-
tor will discuss your treat-
ment options. Your doctor will
determine which treatment
methods are right for you.
Heart failure management is
a team effort, and you are the
key player on the team.
Your heart doctor will pre-
scribe your medications and
manage other medical prob-
lems.
Other team members,
including nurses, dietitians,
pharmacists, exercise special-
ists and social workers, will
help you achieve success. But it
is up to YOU to take your medi-
cations, make dietary changes,
live a healthy lifestyle, keep
your follow-up appointments,
and be an active member of
the team.
Together, you and your doc-
tor will discuss your treatment
options. If you want more
information please come and
join us at the NEX to have
your blood pressure taken and

KINGS BAY SECURITY

SAILORS

GET QUALIFIED

NSB Kings Bay Commanding
Officer Capt. Mike McKinnon
awards MA3 Donald
Padgett(right) and ABE2 Brian
Darrisaw(left) the Small Craft
Insignia Certificate Feb. 15.
"This is great because we
worked really hard to get
qualified for the boats and
now to be recognized is even
better," Padgett said. "It is a
very big accomplishment to
be noticed for the hardwork
and dedication that we put
into what we do," Darrisaw
stated. Having their Small
Craft Insignia Certification
means Padgett and Darrisaw
are expert coxswains who
are qualified to operate
four different types of mili-
tary boats. According to Sgt.
Brian Middleton of Kings Bay
Security, this certification is a
challenge that requires a lot
of time and effort. "Getting
the Small Craft Insignia
Certificate is very difficult
and time consuming," he stat-
ed. "There are several steps
to go through and it requires
nothing less than a total com-
mitment."

Naval Hospital Jax has a new tool for patient feedback

By Marsha Childs
NHJ Marketing

Naval Hospital Jacksonville
has a cool new tool that
allows patients to rate their
health care delivered at any of its
medical facilities using ICE-the
Interactive Customer Evaluation
system.
ICE is a web-based customer
feedback tool that can be accessed
from your home computer or using
one of the new kiosks, known as
ICE boxes, which are conveniently
located throughout the hospital and
at the Branch Health Clinics.
Patients and visitors may submit
online comment cards to rate the
healthcare services they receive dur-

ing a recent visit or inpatient stay.
ICE may also be used to make sug-
gestions or compliment the staff.
ICE provides patients with gen-
eral information such as location,
hours of operation and answers to
frequently asked questions. It per-
mits the patient to view a "report
card" for any service area and see
how others rate the service.
When a patient submits a com-
ment card, the ICE system gener-
ates an e-mail directly to the service
provider. If the patient requests a
response, the manager will make
contact within 3 business days.
The system also generates reports,
allowing managers to monitor cus-
tomer satisfaction in their areas of
responsibility.

This timely information enables
the staff to evaluate existing servic-
es, recognize deserving staff mem-
bers and consider suggestions pro-
vided on ICE.
ICE allows hospital leadership to
receive candid patient feedback and
tailor the services to meet the needs
of military families. ICE is a clear
signal to patients that customer ser-
vice is a top priority for the entire
staff.
ICE is available on the hospital's
website at navalhospitaljax.med.
navy.mil.
For more information about ICE
or to learn how you can provide
feedback, contact the Customer
Relations Office at (904) 542-9175.

A conservation and arts project is currently
underway in Woodbine to establish the town
as a bird sanctuary. The Woodbine Woman's
Club is partnering with the City of Woodbine,
Gateway Camden Industries, Camden County
High School Skills USA, and the Lion's Club
to build and place bluebird nesting boxes
establishing trails throughout neighborhoods
around the city and from Liza Rudolph Road
north along the old rail bed onto the River

team is currentlyworking on a Homeownership
Training Classes and potential projects for pro-
viding a range of housing options for our com-
munity.
"Right now there is a big gap in housing from
subsidized housing to what is currently avail-
able on the market and most people don't qual-
ify for the high prices of housing in our commu-
nity right now. We hope that by offering classes
and working with local builders and developers
that we will be able to provide housing in the
$100,000 $160,000 range that will allow more
individuals in our community the opportunity
of homeownership." said Pat Clink, local real-

Navy reaching for desired

end strength by 2008

From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs
Wth the Navy's Fleet of the future established, and seeing cost-savings platforms being
delivered to the Fleet, the Navy announced Feb. 5 the plan to reach an end strength
number of 328,4000 for active duty and 67,800 for reserves in 2008, reaching a floor of
approximately 322,000 for active duty and 68,000 for reserves in 2013.
"Now that we have future fleet defined 313 ships and about 3,800 aircraft we are able to
define the work and identify requirements," said Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. John C.
Harvey Jr. "I'm confident that our end strength number is right, and that the number translates
to the capabilities we need to do the missions that the nation expects the Navy to do."
By partnering with the Navy enterprises, there is a much better understanding of the work
requirement across platforms and jobs, at sea and ashore. In addition, savings from BRAC deci-
sion 10 years ago, and the delivery of manpower saving platforms to the fleet are making a dif-
ference in how many Sailors are needed to do the job. As platforms change retiring older, man-
power and maintenance intensive ships and aircraft requirements for Sailors are changing.
"Our future carriers will have about 1,000 less Sailors required between the ship and airwing
to deliver the same capability of today's carriers," Harvey said. "In our 313-ship Navy, you have
significant changes in platforms themselves that enable downsizing to continue without giving
away capability or making a 24-hour workday for the Sailor."
Even while end strength comes down over the next year until it steadies in 2013, the Navy's
recruiting missions will grow. With natural attrition and retention figures, as well as the need
for an increasingly skilled workforce, a strong recruiting helps to shape a stronger Navy of the
future. "We learned a lesson in the 90's that we cannot lower recruiting when we're downsizing,
because we must pay attention to how we shape the force of the future," Harvey added. "We had
historic re-enlistment rates after 9/11, but that was a retention rate that couldn't be sustained
over the long haul. This is part of sustaining the force. We want to keep the mid-grade petty offi-
cer and the right skill sets who really deliver the goods for us at sea, in terms of the blend of the
experience, leadership, capability."
Seeing the end strength go down until 2013 does not mean that there will be large cuts in
today's enlisted force. "You are going to have a career with us. We may have rating conversions,
but nobody is going to lose a career who has the capability to serve, who wants to serve, and who
should serve," Harvey stated.
Shaping the Reserve Component is a focus for this year, as their sustained contributions have
been an operational reserve for the active component. Restructuring the Reserves includes
looking for GWOT heavy ratings and individuals with a level of experience.
